Anyone have thoughts on POM? I bought in a few months ago and am up 35% as of today. Anyone familiar with Exelon?

Pretty big drops, no?

My gut feeling is that one or all of these may be good short term buys (3, 4% on a time scale on the order of days or weeks) on an inevitable "bounce" as investors find value given that these drops are pretty big.

Let's see how good I am at this.

4/25/14 ($ per share)

FB: $57.71
Twitter: $41.61
Netflix: $322.08

5/1/14

FB: $61.98 (+7.39%)
Twitter: $40.18 (-3.56%)
Netflix: $339.25 (+5.33%)

Not too shabby so far...

Edit: For rough calculations pre-tax, assuming a 1/3 split of capital among all 3 stocks on 4/25, this represents an overall gain of +2.9%.

Obviously upon realizing those gains one would have to pay regular income tax which depends on your peak marginal tax bracket.

Any thoughts on TWTR. Hit a new low of $34 just now.

mact3333 · 05-06-2014, 02:06 PM

I like twitter at these levels

I'm buying today

Feels like FB below 20

Twtr needs to better monetize the eyeballs

Down 50% from highs so risk is reasonably low

TWTR still too risky to jump in now. Down 17% today closing at the LOD with heavy volume. There isn't enough technical data to see where the next support is.

Mact3333 - curious to hear your take on general markets / indices

My head n shoulders call is proving to be a little funky but then again those patterns are never perfect. Still short term bearish

F1Venom · 05-07-2014, 01:52 PM

Entered TWTR long at $30.7 today. I see a sell-climax and positive divergence with respect to MACD (5-min chart).

mact3333 · 05-07-2014, 07:21 PM

Took 1/2 position yest and other half today

Gotta stay pt with this one... They need good news to come from somewhere

Situation a lot like FB was around 20.00 IMHO

N55 · 05-07-2014, 09:29 PM

picked up FB today @ $56.58! I hope pre market treats it well tomorrow, so I can dump it.

Nice upgrade today by MS. Apparently the bears have beat it enough and price seems to agree today.

mact3333 · 05-08-2014, 10:36 AM

good start to twtr position.

E92TTKING · 05-08-2014, 11:38 PM

Twitter looks very promising!

Razzy · 05-09-2014, 07:26 PM

Apple down 2.5 bucks today. Planning on purchasing Beats By Dre for 3.2 Billion.

mact3333 · 05-12-2014, 10:33 AM

TWTR anyone????...

I'm targeting $35 (34.8 for an exit) followed by consolidation before a new spike higher and into the $40s.

gatorfast · 05-12-2014, 04:01 PM

Bought small position in twtr around $31. Was going to buy more after a drop but haven't had a chance. Oh well good problem to have.

agreed.

F1Venom · 05-13-2014, 09:56 AM

Thoughts on VJET? $14 looks appetizing for a bounce as there's been positive divergence with respect to MACD on a long term chart.

F1Venom · 05-13-2014, 12:55 PM

Well SPX broke above 1900 and set an ATH today. Next stop 2000?

mact3333 · 05-13-2014, 05:06 PM

as noted many months ago, the bull will not end until all bears get their faced ripped off...mom and pop have to get in fully too..hasnt happened yet...we need to extend this rally some more but later this year, we will get a scary correction(fast one I bet and biggest in years) but even that will not be "the top"...that will come later...but within the year I am guessing.

Short term top coming coming fairly soon though...VIX near 12 usually signifies a ST top...look for VIX to get down to 10 before its "all over" is my hunch.
